@All.

As per me, The word "a" is an indefinite article. We use "a" before singular countable nouns when referring to something non-specific. "Mood" is a singular countable noun, so adding "a" makes the sentence grammatically smoother.

Always lot, good, bad hav article a before it.

Ex:a lot of chocolates, I'm not in a good mood etc.

We should not use "a/an" before uncountable things.

Ex:

She gives a good advice (it is wrong).

"in a" means that in a single mood. We're not sure if he's feeling bad for a single reason.
